Chapter Nine hundred and Eighty-Four: The World of Prosperity
No matter how many people curse, what should come or what should come. The three-year scientific examination was finally cancelled. Although there were many scholars on the Ministry of Rites kneeling on the ground and crying loudly.
However, the times are irreversible. The three-year imperial examination was directly changed to the start of the exam every year. At the same time, in order to take care of some scholars who have already achieved fame, the court also gave certain preferential treatment. All scholars can go directly without taking the exam.
Admitted as an official.
As a result, those who were expected to have a career were all in full swing, while a group of proud people happily carried their luggage.
In the newly promulgated official law by the court, the officials were explained in detail. The officials were different from ordinary chores. In the new law, the official system was divided into ten levels. In addition to the ninth rank sesame officials, these ten levels were
Even though the name is called official, in essence, officials are actually included in the category of officials, or in other words, the reserve team of officials. Although they are temporarily doing the work of the past, they already have their identities.
Complete transformation.
In fact, scholars care about their identity and face the most. At this point, the court has given considerable care.
In addition, the salaries of all officials were paid by the court. The Ministry of Personnel established a Experience Department in each provincial governing department, which also expanded the functions of the Ministry of Personnel. From then on, whether it was the first or tenth rank.
All the officials were included in the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel.
This is equivalent to giving everyone a position. Without the position, you will be a lower-ranking class. With the position, you will have decentness and hope.
The continuous actions make people happy and worry. Those Jinshi, Juren, or scholars who are excellent in the exam are extremely dissatisfied with this and criticized them. However, Jinshi and Juren have no worries for the time being, and the court will still appoint official positions.
, so it was just a vent of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox. The biggest criticism was that some people who thought they had a chance to be on the list. They had a great chance to be in the first place, but now they had to start from the bottom, and their interests were seriously damaged.
Not scolding is not enough to calm your anger.
Of course, most of them are happy.
Most scholars, in addition to exempting corvee labor and giving certain small privileges, once they fail to pass the imperial examination, they will not be able to pass the imperial examination, and they will have no future since then. Everyone in the world is keen on becoming an official, but many people have insufficient examination skills.
I can't pass the single-plank bridge with hundreds of thousands or millions of people competing for thousands of places. Now the imperial court has opened up a source for the exam, which means that everyone has a greater chance of becoming an official. In the future,
It’s not about who does the better work, but about who does the better work.
At the same time, the court also gave examinations for some low-key books and encouraged the original servants. That is to say, even if you are an ordinary escort, a civil servant or even a servant, as long as you are willing to take the examination, the court will
They are also willing to give some preferential policies. After all, they are experienced, but their cultural level is often not as good as scholars. As long as they are willing to work hard, they still have the opportunity to become a regular person.
Several measures made the officials in the world feel sad, but they found that they did not seem to have received much response except for complaining. The scholars began to become disinterested according to their respective interests. Not to mention that there was a filth among scholars.
In the grassroots county government offices, the officials often scolded the court's national policies, but the lower-level civil servants, the clerks and even the servants did not make a sound. Not making a sound means disagreement, because the interests of both parties have already
Inconsistent.
But the officials and officials are all nobles in Qing Dynasty. On the surface, they are the ones who take action on the governance of local governments or departments, but they are the ones who are really doing things. These people at the bottom collectively support the court's national policies, so that these people can borrow every day.
It seems impossible to do anything by drinking to relieve sorrow, or criticizing and scolding.
I originally thought that the promulgation would lead to chaos in the world, but the result was calm. In addition to the scolding, the national policy was quickly implemented and unstoppable.
Next, the reform of the imperial military system, where military households in various places were abolished and changed from the military household system to the recruitment system. This national policy was also promulgated by Liu Chengfeng and the three major officials of the cabinet after months of discussion.
Any national policy that has been introduced will oppose it, and this time it will be no exception. The most fierce opposition is the local hereditary military officers. These hereditary households and hundreds of households suddenly become commanders without a single position, and it is impossible to have an official position
If there is any possibility of hereditary, they will naturally be furious, but they still cannot become powerful. At least this national policy has been widely supported by military households.
Millions of military households in the Ming Dynasty were extremely miserable, bound to the land, and became tenant farmers from so-called military households, and were exploited by military officers. Moreover, they have been farmers for generations and have never had the hope of resignation for life. Once they encounter it,
In the war, we had to force the battle, and we had to die for a lifetime, but most of the rewards from the court fell into the pockets of military officers.
If it were in the past, it would be fine if I could be my own tenant farmer at most. Anyway, farming for landlords is also farming for military officers. However, over the years, the emergence of workshops has made working a fashion. Everyone knows that working
The profit is even greater. It is often hard to find food on the land for a year and the family cannot even have enough food. However, the workmanship cannot maintain that the family can barely have a meal, but also have some savings.
As a result, a large number of tenants flocked to the workshop, which made the land rent lower and lower. In order to retain the tenants, the gentry had to give the tenants some preferential treatment. The exploitation gradually reduced a lot, which reduced the burden on the tenants in the countryside a lot.
In this way, farming in a military yard is not only far inferior to working, but also as good as a tenant farmer. The military yards have a miserable life. In addition, when compared with others, they have long had a grudge in their hearts.
The court suddenly issued an order, although it was a catastrophe for hereditary military officers, but it was a long drought and rain for the military households.
Even if the military officers are dissatisfied, would they still want to rebel? If he dares to rebel, who will respond? There is no need to use the official army at all. They can directly carry it to the Dharma on the spot with one or two servants.
The implementation of the new law kicked off the three years of Zhengde. A large number of military households were liberated from the land, making the workshops that were rapidly expanding even more powerful. Reading gradually became a fashion. In the past, reading was limited to being an official.
How can ordinary people bear it? But now it is very different. The admission of officials has broadened their channels for them to enter this threshold, making more people willing to let their nephews read and write. Of course, more importantly, with the development of the workshop
The demands of various scholars are gradually increasing. Under this huge demand, scholars become popular.
In the past, reading was nothing more than a single-plank bridge for the imperial examination, which was daunting. But now, there are hundreds or thousands of ways. After learning arithmetic, you can do arithmetic, learn the law, and be a lawyer, which is just an ordinary reading.
You can also find free and high-paying chores in various workshops. The imperial examination is certainly a bright future, but compared with these immediate interests, even if you have read a book, you will only have one or two times more income than you have never read a book.
Most people are also willing to accept the popularization of this knowledge.
In addition, the imperial court continued the national policy of the late emperor and vigorously built a school, so there were ten times more people studying and studying than before.
In April of the third year of Zhengde, memorials from all over the world were all praises. It turned out that the local rebellion and even the rebellion of the royal family seemed to have become a long-standing joke. In this world, no one cares about who is in the Lord.
The most important thing about politics is whether there is a foundation for turmoil in the world? If the public is full of grievances, no matter how orthodox the court is, it will still rise up and wars are everywhere, but ninety percent of people are satisfied. Everyone has food and life.
However, the several innovations that Liu Chengfeng targeted were just right. They often attracted most people and used them to suppress a small number of people and a small number of life grievances. Even if they control the public opinion of the whole world, what about it?
A court never cared about yelling and scolding.
Of course, innovation is also a guide. If there were no accumulation during the late emperor, if the court had not had enough expenses, any innovation would be just a joke. If these reforms were put into use now, it might be just right, but if they were put into use for twenty years
Before, it may have become a hidden danger of turmoil in the world, just like Wang Mang's new policy. Although the content of the new policy is ahead, it accelerated the fall of the new dynasty. The laws of the Ming Dynasty were placed in the Qin and Han dynasties, which would ensure that the world would be in chaos.
At the beginning of the fourth year of Zhengde, the entire dynasty was still prosperous, and at this time, Jiao Fang, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, finally couldn't sit still.
Although Jiao Fang has done a lot of things in the cabinet for several years, he is not as good as Yang Yiqing in martial arts and Li Dongdong in literature. He is neither too high nor too low, and seems to have gradually become an unnecessary person. The only thing he is glad that he is the Regent.
It seems to be quite dependent on him.
Today he specifically filed a leave in the cabinet. The first-rank imperial lady came to Beijing from the desert today. Before that, Li Ruofan had already given him a famous sect and asked him to go to discuss matters.
Li Ruofan's identity is a bit embarrassing for both the Regent and the imperial court. On the one hand, this powerful woman does not seem to like to live in the palace, but occasionally returns to her golden tent outside the pass, and the Fifteen Mongolian Guards, she is quite
He has reputation, so most of the affairs outside the court depend on her, and many things involving the external garrisons will also ask her for advice. On the other hand, her relationship with the Regent is ambiguous, which is well known to everyone.
Even many military aircraft were discussed with her privately.
This person is different from other princesses. She is unwilling to be a concubine, but she is nameless and real, so she has to be careful about Li Ruofan and Jiao Fang.
